Based on room 209. This room is beside the pool and gym, therefore the noise is until late and starts early in the morning. Only 1 elevator working making everything a mess with long lines waiting for that.

The rooms were very clean and modern. The water pressure was very poor in the shower. The breakfast was decent but was very, very busy. The staff were very nice. The pool was the tiniest pool I’ve ever seen and very shallow and busy every time we went down. It is really false advertisement to call it a pool. The area around the hotel in particular is very shoddy: I would not go out at night after dark in that area.

There doesn’t seem to be any default parking available, so I parked after two traffic lights and paid $10 for 12 hours. The location is good, but there are quite a few homeless people near the traffic signals, and some appear to be under the influence.

Parking spot is terrible, had to go for a walk, and the place is too many one way street, no towel in pool area. Homeless people around the area and they are drunk. No free snacks. Staff is ok especially in front desk, i did update them about the towel. But my kids already done swimming when we got there. No wonder why the elevator are wet because some people don’t have towels

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff who worked around us at breakfast worked very hard to replenish food and keep tables clean. My disappointment with this hotel is staff at front desk rarely looked up to greet people as we passed by. They seemed quite uninterested in guests. Security Guards were always scrolling on cell phones. Very poor service at entrance to this hotel.
